Twining: An Introduction*
with Joan Bryson
Twining involves twisting two fixable strands called wefts around each other to enclose vertical strands called warps. It’s the use of two wefts and twisting them together to enclose the warps that distinguishes twining from normal weaving. To get started with twining we will make a placemat. The first night will be setting up, second night will be trouble shooting and problem solving, then on the last night we will finish up our placemats and take them off the loom. Bring scraps or leftovers cotton or cotton blend fabric that look good together and can be torn into long strips. Looms will be provided at a nominal cost—TBD. Limit 10 students
